Everything about

Lily's week (hereinafter referred to as Lily's week), a double D5, 146 minute movie, I thought I didn't have the patience to sit in front of the computer for that long. However, when the green wheat fields and the sloping sky shook before my eyes again, those helpless teenagers stood in the wheat fields again, listening to Zhou Lili's music. With the overwhelming soundtrack of Takeshi Kobayashi, the subtitles slowly slipped, and I realized how long I had spent 146 minutes.

When I read Love Letter a few years ago, I always liked the scenes of teenage Fujii and teenage Fujii. I feel that the pure unrequited love knot in middle school is really a beautiful card inserted in the youth album. Unfortunately, such a paragraph in the love letter is not long enough, which makes me very dissatisfied. So I'm looking forward to Shunji Iwai, a film that is said to tell the story of middle school students. I thought the story of 146 minutes was not enough!

However, the middle school in the film is very different from Fujii. Xiong Yi, Hoshino and Fujii don't seem to live under the same blue sky. Their lives are not as pure as snow as love letters, nor as bright as the green wheat fields at the beginning of Lily Zhou, and their youth is gray.

Although the first thing you see is a green wheat field, the confusion of a white boy bowing his head without saying a word actually implies that this is a film about youth confusion more than youth joy. What I didn't expect, however, was that this is such a cruel youth story, and Shunji Iwai continued his black feelings in The Butterfly. If watching Kitano Takeshi's "Bad Boy's Sky" still makes me feel that these bad children still have a little hope, then this movie even makes me feel that youth is so desperate, how can we grow up? I'm in a trance. How did I get through such a difficult youth?

Lonely young soul, crying in Shunji Iwai's movies: Xiong Yi and Hoshino were very good friends. Although they both have families, they are all lonely. Xiong Yi lives with his mother, stepfather and his younger brother, lacking communication and care. Hoshino has a beautiful young mother, but obviously her mother doesn't give Hoshino enough love. So two lonely hearts came together. In fact, brotherhood is also a very good memory of our middle school days. Having a good friend who talks about everything is also a rare gain in middle school life. In a sense, its value is no less than the beauty of unrequited love. However, Shunji Iwai let the hero ruin all this.

At the beginning of the film, Xiong Yi, Hoshino and several other teenagers stole bags and CDs, which has already told us that they are all "bad boys". In order to realize their wish to travel to Okinawa in the summer vacation, they did not hesitate to rob the street. If all this is for youth, maybe I will feel that youth can turn back. However, great changes have taken place since then. These teenagers were very happy when they went to Okinawa to play, but at the end of the journey, they witnessed a bizarre death. This death changed Hoshino's character and destroyed their friendship. This is the only thing that surprises me about this movie. This change has brought great changes to the protagonist, which can only be explained from the particularity of the individual. So the next sky became darker and the truly cruel youth began. Hoshino began to become more brutal and overbearing. He openly insulted the emaciated boys, forced the girls in the class to communicate with each other, and asked others to rape kuya, the most beautiful girl in the class. When he did all this, Xiong Yi did not leave Xingye. Perhaps all this has not touched the interests of Xiong Yi. However, when Hoshino destroyed Xiong Yi's favorite Lily Zhou CD, beat Xiong Yi and even forced him to masturbate in front of everyone, Xiong Yi couldn't stand it.

The last sky in Xiong Yi collapsed because of the virtual network. When there was no love in his life, even his only friendship with Hoshino vanished with the wind, he found the Internet. A large number of BBS words are displayed with subtitles and sounds, which occupies a considerable length of the film, which I can't stand in the film. The theme of these BBS*** is Zhou Lili, a somewhat mysterious singer. Xiong Yi met a "green cat" who also likes Zhou Lili very much on the Internet. The screen name is "Philia". He thought he had found love again. However, at the entrance of Lily Zhou's live concert, he saw Hoshino holding a green apple that was used as a contact sign, which read "Green Cat". ...

Hoshino teased Xiong Yi for the last time, and Xiong Yi responded with a knife. When the warm afternoon sun shines in Xiong Yi, everything is like a dream. Stealing, robbing, raping and killing, such youth, is it the juvenile life of bad children? When the film was shown at the Shanghai International Film Festival, it was renamed "The Time of the Cardamom". I think this name is a bit ironic. If this time is as beautiful as the cardamom years, can only "jihad" ("The Great Escape") be called cruel youth?

Shunji Iwai once again silenced me with his slow rhythm, exquisite pictures and loud music, but this time I thought: If bad children have no love and no sky like Xiong Yi and Hoshino, where can they fly even if they grow wings?

Sophisticated adults can't understand why adolescent children are willing to give themselves to a song, a box of VCD and a shining star even if they are shattered. That's because they are afraid of greater nothingness, and before the darkness engulfs them, they give themselves to the "ether" which represents the order of the universe.

Every time I watch a good movie, I often have a trance-like sense of collapse, doubts about my real life and doubts about the value I pursue. In other words, this is what really fascinates me about movies and keeps me awake to some extent. Although it's hard to say whether this waking brings me more happiness or pain, I think I'd like to be so awake and not fall into unconscious numbness.

Self-collapse

The pain of youth often comes from being too sensitive, even beyond the understanding of ordinary people. Hoshino is definitely a smart and excellent child, but it can't be equated with carefree. He may be under much greater pressure than ordinary children. A person has been educated by his parents and society since childhood, and has been growing up until a teenager finally forms his own world view. At this marginal moment of growth, he often faces the collapse of confidence in the adult world. This process and the resulting results vary from person to person, and a smart and sensitive child is likely to go to extremes because of the hard pursuit of no answer. Hoshino, after the breakdown of family and the impermanence of life, once supported a string of the whole spiritual world in the body. After being subjected to too much tension, it suddenly broke without warning. This completely destroyed Hoshino's normal personality, destroyed Xiong Yi's CD, made him masturbate in front of everyone, forced girls in the same class to engage in prostitution, and instructed his men to rape Hisano for a long time. These terrible behaviors, which are almost abnormal, are his ignorant counterattack after losing confidence in the world. His inner pain is more serious than anyone else. You can feel that kind of despair as long as you watch him shout with all his strength in the desolate wilderness, but it still doesn't help.

The sudden change of Hoshino naturally influenced Xiong Yi, who almost regarded Hoshino, who was much better than himself, as an idol. So the collapse of Hoshino also led to the collapse of Xiong Yi, but his collapse was internal, silent and slow, which also meant that a stronger outbreak was brewing. Xiong Yi is a kind boy, but his personality is very introverted, which leads to his weakness and cowardice. Therefore, he tried to help girls who were forced into prostitution to have boyfriends instead of coming forward himself. He cried. He was raped for a long time and didn't dare to stop him. But just like watching Xiao Si in Seven Ridges Street, we know that everything will not end like this, and there will be an amazing outbreak after too long silence.

The absence of the adult world

In this film, the concept of the adult world is very vague, and it no longer has an immeasurable impact on minors as before. Female roles are relatively positive and kind, but they can't do anything about children's growth. Hoshino's mother is young and beautiful, but obviously she can only take care of Hoshino in life and can't understand his inner world. When young female teachers' academic performance in Xiong Yi drops sharply, they can only say "As a teacher, I can only encourage you to cheer", but they can't help solve any substantive problems. Maybe the problem is psychological rather than substantive.

As for the role of father, it is completely missing. Xiong Yi remarried to a new family with his mother, and even his surname changed. This can't be said to have no effect on him. Hoshino's family didn't see his father either, only vaguely mentioned from others that their factory was burnt down and their home was scattered. It is possible that his father has run away from home, or that he could not bear the failure and committed suicide. This reminds me of what Brad Pitt said to Edward Harrison Norton in the bathtub in Fight Club: "We were all raised by women. Can finding another woman solve the problem? " It can be seen that the problem of growth exists in the whole human society. As for the two middle-aged men in the film, they are obscene images receiving assistance from female middle school students. How can you trust such an adult?

What does Zhou Lili stand for?

Lily Week may be illusory or real, and "Ether" is a virtual real world. Lily week is a sustenance found in the "ether" world, just a sustenance, because there is nothing else to repose. The truth of Ether is a strong satire on the real world. The world that does not exist has become the truth that teenagers desperately defend, and the world that exists is only hypocrisy and despair. Teenagers are only sensitive to all this because they haven't had time to integrate into the adult world. Their resistance or giving up will eventually hurt themselves. The more enthusiastic they are about Zhou Lili's trust and pursuit, the deeper their disappointment in the real world. On the contrary, their disappointment with the real world leads them to pursue the image of Zhou Lili enthusiastically, which is an illusion of myth, so it is doomed to be a tragedy.

What is Zhou Lili? Under the endless blue sky, there is a green rice field. Xiong Yi stood in a waist-high paddy field, listening to his hope for the world. Is a red kite flying freely in the boundless sky, the girl said to the kite, I want to fly to the sky; Under the dim and bright light, the piano music flowing from kuya lingered in my ear for a long time; It is a teenager's first and best wish for the whole world.

Good movies often bring us more sadness than happiness, because sadness is a longer and more penetrating force. I can't forget the bright blue sky, the quiet rice fields, and the blood from the knife inserted in the green apple. Perhaps our hearts were slightly happy when Hoshino fell in the crowd, but the feeling that immediately gained the upper hand was resentment, and a teenager should not be forced to leave this world in such an extreme way. The adult world has never paid attention to their cries.

Who the hell killed that boy? Movies can only ask questions, not answer and solve them. It is always ourselves who can do this.
